Thoughts on New New Doctor Who Season One
Blog
22nd June 2024
Tried not to be spoiler, but if you haven't watched the finale yet, do that!
-=-=- I enjoyed it overall. I felt a lot of the season felt rushed, though, be it because Ncuti was missing for two episodes, one after the other, or because the "hidden baddie" didn't hide for too long, since there were only 8 episodes to play with. Hopefully by next season they'll be able to play with any arcs a little better, and maybe aim for an arc that gets time to breath rather than feeling.. ..?? Russell'y? Or, maybe that's the Russell bit of RTD that I've always felt at odds with. The way he sows seeds through the whole season, and then smushes it all together and sprinkles in a little none-sci-fi to magic his way out of it. It reminded me a lot of Jesus Shoes*, if I'm honest. But it was still an enjoyable last episode, and season as a whole, and I've enjoyed the new Doctor more than most people from what I've read online. People seemed to hate the more emotional Doctor, but every Doctor's different, and this is his "thing", so I think it's ok. Be interested to hear everyone else's opinions on the season. Now the long (so long) wait until Xmas. Video Commentaries for the season are only 2, which is a shame.. Boom and Empire of Death. I'll be honest, the Empire of Death one dragged on a bit, and was more just 50-odd minutes of Bonnie banging on about how great everything was!!! I actually managed to fall asleep halfway through it! Oops! * Jesus Shoes : That bit in Series 3's finale where The Doctor regains his strength and somehow de-ages because of "words", and then magically floats into his magical pair of shoes to defeat The Master. ![]() "Cartoon @Derek wearing the 5th Doctor's outfit, cricket, celery," by #ArtFlow.ai Views 49, Upvotes 5
